LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και ναιμαν ο αρχων της δυναμεως συριας ην ανηρ μεγας ενωπιον του κυριου αυτου και τεθαυμασμενος προσωπω οτι εν αυτω εδωκεν κυριος σωτηριαν συρια και ο ανηρ ην δυνατος ισχυι λελεπρωμενος	1 Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria: and he was a valiant man and rich, but a leper.
2 και συρια εξηλθον μονοζωνοι και ηχμαλωτευσαν εκ γης ισραηλ νεανιδα μικραν και ην ενωπιον της γυναικος ναιμαν	2 Now there had gone out robbers from Syria, and had led away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid, and she waited upon Naaman's wife.
3 η δε ειπεν τη κυρια αυτης οφελον ο κυριος μου ενωπιον του προφητου του θεου του εν σαμαρεια τοτε αποσυναξει αυτον απο της λεπρας αυτου	3 And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet, that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath.
4 και εισηλθεν και απηγγειλεν τω κυριω εαυτης και ειπεν ουτως και ουτως ελαλησεν η νεανις η εκ γης ισραηλ	4 Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl from the land of Israel.
5 και ειπεν βασιλευς συριας προς ναιμαν δευρο εισελθε και εξαποστελω βιβλιον προς βασιλεα ισραηλ και επορευθη και ελαβεν εν τη χειρι αυτου δεκα ταλαντα αργυριου και εξακισχιλιους χρυσους και δεκα αλλασσομενας στολας	5 And the king of Syria sad to him: Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and tell changes of raiment,
6 και ηνεγκεν το βιβλιον προς τον βασιλεα ισραηλ λεγων και νυν ως αν ελθη το βιβλιον τουτο προς σε ιδου απεστειλα προς σε ναιμαν τον δουλον μου και αποσυναξεις αυτον απο της λεπρας αυτου	6 And brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman my servant, that thou mayest heal him of his leprosy.
7 και εγενετο ως ανεγνω βασιλευς ισραηλ το βιβλιον διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου και ειπεν μη θεος εγω του θανατωσαι και ζωοποιησαι οτι ουτος αποστελλει προς με αποσυναξαι ανδρα απο της λεπρας αυτου οτι πλην γνωτε δη και ιδετε οτι προφασιζεται ουτος με	7 And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me, to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions against me.
8 και εγενετο ως ηκουσεν ελισαιε οτι διερρηξεν ο βασιλευς ισραηλ τα ιματια εαυτου και απεστειλεν προς τον βασιλεα ισραηλ λεγων ινα τι διερρηξας τα ιματια σου ελθετω δη προς με ναιμαν και γνωτω οτι εστιν προφητης εν ισραηλ	8 And when Eliseus the man of God had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.
9 και ηλθεν ναιμαν εν ιππω και αρματι και εστη επι θυρας οικου ελισαιε	9 So Naaman came with Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:
10 και απεστειλεν ελισαιε αγγελον προς αυτον λεγων πορευθεις λουσαι επτακις εν τω ιορδανη και επιστρεψει η σαρξ σου σοι και καθαρισθηση	10 And Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying: Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall recover health, and thee shalt be clean.
11 και εθυμωθη ναιμαν και απηλθεν και ειπεν ιδου δη ελεγον οτι εξελευσεται προς με και στησεται και επικαλεσεται εν ονοματι θεου αυτου και επιθησει την χειρα αυτου επι τον τοπον και αποσυναξει το λεπρον	11 Naaman was angry and went away, saying: I thought he would hare come out to me, and standing would hare invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me.
12 ουχι αγαθος αβανα και φαρφαρ ποταμοι δαμασκου υπερ ιορδανην και παντα τα υδατα ισραηλ ουχι πορευθεις λουσομαι εν αυτοις και καθαρισθησομαι και εξεκλινεν και απηλθεν εν θυμω	12 Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation,
13 και ηγγισαν οι παιδες αυτου και ελαλησαν προς αυτον μεγαν λογον ελαλησεν ο προφητης προς σε ουχι ποιησεις και οτι ειπεν προς σε λουσαι και καθαρισθητι	13 His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt he clean?
14 και κατεβη ναιμαν και εβαπτισατο εν τω ιορδανη επτακι κατα το ρημα ελισαιε και επεστρεψεν η σαρξ αυτου ως σαρξ παιδαριου μικρου και εκαθαρισθη	14 Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times: according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child, and he was made clean.
15 και επεστρεψεν προς ελισαιε αυτος και πασα η παρεμβολη αυτου και ηλθεν και εστη και ειπεν ιδου δη εγνωκα οτι ουκ εστιν θεος εν παση τη γη οτι αλλ' η εν τω ισραηλ και νυν λαβε την ευλογιαν παρα του δουλου σου	15 And returning to the man of God with all his train, be came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee therefore take a blessing of thy servant.
16 και ειπεν ελισαιε ζη κυριος ω παρεστην ενωπιον αυτου ει λημψομαι και παρεβιασατο αυτον λαβειν και ηπειθησεν	16 But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused.
17 και ειπεν ναιμαν και ει μη δοθητω δη τω δουλω σου γομος ζευγους ημιονων και συ μοι δωσεις εκ της γης της πυρρας οτι ου ποιησει ετι ο δουλος σου ολοκαυτωμα και θυσιασμα θεοις ετεροις αλλ' η τω κυριω μονω	17 And Naaman said: As thou wilt: but I beseech thee, grant to me thy servant, to take from hence two mules' burden of earth: for thy servant will not henceforth offer holocaust, or victim, to other gods, but to the Lord.
18 και ιλασεται κυριος τω δουλω σου εν τω εισπορευεσθαι τον κυριον μου εις οικον ρεμμαν προσκυνησαι αυτον και επαναπαυσεται επι της χειρος μου και προσκυνησω εν οικω ρεμμαν εν τω προσκυνειν αυτον εν οικω ρεμμαν και ιλασεται δη κυριος τω δουλω σου εν τω λογω τουτω	18 But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant, when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship: and he leaneth upon my hand, if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me thy servant for this thing.
19 και ειπεν ελισαιε προς ναιμαν δευρο εις ειρηνην και απηλθεν απ' αυτου εις δεβραθα της γης	19 And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.
20 και ειπεν γιεζι το παιδαριον ελισαιε ιδου εφεισατο ο κυριος μου του ναιμαν του συρου τουτου του μη λαβειν εκ χειρος αυτου α ενηνοχεν ζη κυριος οτι ει μη δραμουμαι οπισω αυτου και λημψομαι παρ' αυτου τι	20 But Giezi the servant of the man of God said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some thing of him:
21 και εδιωξε γιεζι οπισω του ναιμαν και ειδεν αυτον ναιμαν τρεχοντα οπισω αυτου και επεστρεψεν απο του αρματος εις απαντην αυτου	21 ,21And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well?
22 και ειπεν ειρηνη ο κυριος μου απεστειλεν με λεγων ιδου νυν ηλθον προς με δυο παιδαρια εξ ορους εφραιμ απο των υιων των προφητων δος δη αυτοις ταλαντον αργυριου και δυο αλλασσομενας στολας	22 And he said: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
23 και ειπεν ναιμαν λαβε διταλαντον αργυριου και ελαβεν εν δυσι θυλακοις και δυο αλλασσομενας στολας και εδωκεν επι δυο παιδαρια αυτου και ηραν εμπροσθεν αυτου	23 And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him.
24 και ηλθον εις το σκοτεινον και ελαβεν εκ των χειρων αυτων και παρεθετο εν οικω και εξαπεστειλεν τους ανδρας	24 And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed.
25 και αυτος εισηλθεν και παρειστηκει προς τον κυριον αυτου και ειπεν προς αυτον ελισαιε ποθεν γιεζι και ειπεν γιεζι ου πεπορευται ο δουλος σου ενθα και ενθα	25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.
26 και ειπεν προς αυτον ελισαιε ουχι η καρδια μου επορευθη μετα σου οτε επεστρεψεν ο ανηρ απο του αρματος εις συναντην σοι και νυν ελαβες το αργυριον και νυν ελαβες τα ιματια και λημψη εν αυτω κηπους και ελαιωνας και αμπελωνας και προβατα και βοας και παιδας και παιδισκας	26 But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.
27 και η λεπρα ναιμαν κολληθησεται εν σοι και εν τω σπερματι σου εις τον αιωνα και εξηλθεν εκ προσωπου αυτου λελεπρωμενος ωσει χιων	27 But the leprosy of Naaman shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper as white as snow.
